Funny, but it doesn't work like that. Generally, you have to have
thousands of acres in production to get these subsidies. If you have a
big industrialized farm, you can get paid not to grow rice on your
asphalt-paved tennis court. But a little guy like wrote this letter?
Never get the time of day. Its strictly for big boys who hire lobbyists
to paint pictures of the little guys to give congressmen something to
tell the voters back home.

There is a congressman on the western side of Wisconsin who has been
trying to reform these farm bills, and he gets shot down by a congressman
from the western side of Minnesota. Both Democrats, both know which side
their bread is buttered on. Ron Kind, the one from Wisconsin, is one of
two members of congress who belong to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran
Synod. The other one is a Republican from Ohio.
